Goodreads asked Holly Ash:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Holly Ash The idea for Cleansing Rain was pieced together from a few different moments. When I published my first book, Crystal and Flint, a coworker asked me if it about environmental issues since my day job is being an environmental engineer. I told him it wasn't, but the idea to write something with environmental themes stuck with me. Next was reading through an agent's manuscript wish list and seeing someone asking for a story about the events that lead up to a dystopian future. Finally I had a very vivid dream about being kidnapped from work by a man and then meeting up with two other people. This became the opening to Cleansing Rain and where the characters of Ian, Iris, and Blake came from.
